IF you thought Kim Kardashian was a glutton for a selfie she’s got nothing on this kid who took a selfie every day for seven years.

Hugo Cornellier began when he was 12 years old and kept up the impressive routine to catalogue thousands of images of his transforming appearance until he turned 19. He has now composed all those images together into a time-lapse YouTube video where he amazingly ages seven years before your eyes in just over 90 seconds.

From a baby-faced tween he morphs into a bigger, bearded 19-year-old complete with changing hair styles and fashion.

Seven years of selfies

Cornellier’s YouTube video describes how he “was taking selfies before it was mainstream” but while his project is impressive, he wasn’t the first.

Artist Karl Baden took a selfie every day for 27 years in his Every Day project that has recorded over 9500 snaps. He started in 1987 using the same camera, same position, same lighting, even the same haircut for a time-lapse video that shows him age 24 years in just a few minutes.
